Merge requests are moving faster than reviewers can reconstruct the intent behind them.
Review speed protects delivery momentum, while visible intent protects the quality of agent-produced changes.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I spent half the review asking what the agent was actually trying to change, not whether the code compiled.”

Runs shared CI/CD workflows for an enterprise application group that is adopting AI-assisted coding.
What is at stake
Reviewers cannot reliably tell when an agent-produced diff has moved beyond its specification. You must weigh faster review against evidence strong enough for enterprise teams to trust.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- review speed vs intent evidence
- agent context vs human judgment
- broad workflow vision vs narrow pilot scope
- planning flexibility vs durable traceability
Why Gitlab

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
